A ‘word’ for 2025: the compass for directing our paths

For the past few weeks, I’ve been working on my vision board for 2025, with a “word” serving as my navigational tool. From there, I choose an overarching scripture verse to inform the year ahead. Some years, it’s proven a simple process, but this year my family experienced a bumpy start, including challenges and setbacks carried over from 2024. During my quiet time with the Lord a few days into January, however, the word “trust” spoke to my heart. It’s in this season I sense I’m being called to trust Him before I see the answer to my prayers. That’s what faith is though—hope in what’s not yet seen. Thankfully, we can rest in God’s promises that He will give us our heart’s desires (to align with His), and He’ll direct our paths when we submit to Him. It’s not always easy, but clinging to these promises is the ultimate tool to the peace that surpasses all understanding.

What’s your “word” or scripture for the new year?
